    The strangest thing I've eaten are these tiny (whole) dried fish that my professor's brother brought back from Asia, and in the same day a flower right off a tree in his back yard- maybe a holly hock??

    My dad, however, used to eat pig brains in his scrambled eggs. And pickled balogna. Eck.

    Oh. Almost forgot. When I was younger, I bought a bunch of flowers from a flower stall and then sat in a nearby cafe and ate all the flower heads... :blushing:

    Crispy fried pigs' tails
    Pork heart sausage
    Confitted/roasted pig's head-- I only ate the jowl.

    These dishes were all from the same restaurant, very "nose to tail" cooking style.

    I've eaten all the weird sushi stuff, squid, jellyfish, eel, ect. and love it all.

    When I was 9 I really enjoyed eating dry cat-food and uncooked ramen noodles.

    But the weirdest thing I ate as an adult was emu summer-sausage.

    When I went to Japan a restaurant served me an eye.

    ok whoa. how is that no one else wants to know what kind of eye - and was it looking at you?
    fish eye, no big deal. but other kinds....tell me more!!

    It was big enough to be a horse or cow's eye, but I didn't (still don't) know enough Japanese to ask politely what animal the eye came from or indeed enough to understand the answer!

    It was not quite looking at me, but I rotated it until it did. It has a tough exterior and a viscous fluid in the centre. I think the hardest thing about it - other than the weirdest (but not unpleasant) taste I've experienced - was trying to manipulate the thing with chopsticks!

    My grandmother used to eat turkey necks and the striking similarity to her own neck made it horrible to watch. I'm still trying to get over it.

    Neither of these are weird, but a little weird together. But delicious!

    Cheetoes + Hummus.

    The meat that was served for dinner in the Police Training College. As I lovingly called it (in reference to an episode of The Simpsons), "the universal meat".

    No matter what it was supposed to be, it was a horrible grey colour full of fat and gristle. The sauce or the vegetables that was served with it decided what it was supposed to be. It is the only time in my life I have ever seen "beef" look exactly like "pork" and also look like "ham".

    Apart from that, nothing really out of the ordinary. :ohwell:

    Southern CA backyard squirrel that my uncle killed, cleaned, and cooked...I ate it not knowing what it was...it was pretty good.

    Weirdest condiment: wasabi + Sriracha on sushi.

    Oh...and "Red Surprise" in county... no one knows what's in it.

    i dont really know about me since im so damn picky but my husband swears he ate cat.

    he was working in a really shading section of the city (aka, prostitutes, crack dealers, copper stealers, etc. etc) and he was starving so he went to the chinese joint and got pork fried rice...he is pretty positive it wasnt pork...

    i said "so you still ate it????!!" he said, "yeah, i was freakin' starving"

    ewww.
